Hi, I'm Jemellee 👋🏽

Welcome to my journal 📔

Have you ever needed to restart your life? Well in 2022, I experienced one of the worst years of my life.

With all the trauma, the tears, the depression, and disappointment, I knew that leaving NYC and moving to Chicago was going to be the change that I needed to move forward with my life.

After leaving everything I knew behind me, in the Spring of 2023, I packed up and drove from NYC to the Midwest to rebuild a new life for myself.

guess i'm a midwestern girl now

Journey of self-love and being independent again

In the first few months, I was terrified, clueless, and lonely in a new city. I was at the lowest point of my life, but I did what I had to do: pick myself up and learn how to take care of myself.

Starting from the ground up, I turned to books to reeducate myself about life. I read about self-love, how to be more financially responsible, and make healthier choices whether it be physically, emotionally, and/or mentally.

I created this blog to document this journey of healing & independence again in my 30s.

And looking back on this, each day, each month, and each year, I have learned so much about myself and am happy that I’m on the road to a better life.

I’ll be your guide to your best solo life!

Whether you’re here because of a break-up, need some help in getting money in your savings, or even the best hacks & tricks in dealing with ADHD, I’ll help you out. I may not have all the answers, but if you’re anything like me, you’re going to be OK ❤️‍🩹

love,
jemellee
